Utopia are the ultimate Focal headphones. They are the brand's flagship product, combining the best of our technologies with assertive design, to enhance your listening experience. Their full-range, Beryllium, ‘M’-shaped speaker drivers are fully open-backed and run with no passive or active correction, from 5 Hz to over 50 kHz! The listening experience they deliver is strikingly real, precise and dynamic, with a soundstage that is both wide and deep: close your eyes and feel the musicians beside you. Combining comfort and aesthetics, Utopia delivers uncompromising design and conception. The forged, recycled carbon yokes are modern and sophisticated in style, whilst providing more lightness. The honeycomb grille and Black Chrome ring showcase subtle design details, like the Yin & Yang on the outer case, the black and red double grille on the speaker driver, and more. So many elements that fiercely embody Utopia: the perfect balance between technology and design!
For committed, discerning audio enthusiasts, these open-backed, circumaural headphones deliver a natural, realistic sound stage with precise sonic reproduction. Made from premium, sophisticated materials, they offer an ultra-comfortable fit built for hours of enjoyment. This design extends to the connections, cabling, and form factor. For instance, each of the two supplied cables attaches to the Utopia's earcups by means of two locking, shielded LEMO connectors. One cable is 5' in length and offers a 3.5mm TRS unbalanced connection (a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter is included). The second cable is 10' in length and features a 4-pin XLR balanced connection for use with high-end headphone DACs and amplifiers such as the Focal Arche. Both cables are constructed with 24 AWG oxygen-free copper wiring.
The headband adjusts to accommodate a wide variety of head shapes and sizes, and the forged, recycled carbon yokes and leather padding provide hours of comfortable musical enjoyment without coloring the sound quality in any way. The earcups feature memory-foam cushions upholstered in perforated lambskin leather specially engineered to optimize sound quality and ensure a luxurious listening experience. The Utopia headphones are made in France in the Focal workshops.
